1. The Hipforums announces it first ever fundraiser. After nearly 30 years online, we must ask our members and guests to help support the website. Thanks to years of ongoing financial support of our members, advertisers and volunteer admin staff, we have been able to keep the forums alive.

    Now we must ask for help as available funds have all been used for our Internet server and other fees.

    So please donate any amount to our PayPal account donate@Hipforum.com to keep the site going. If we can get enough for a few months fees, we won't need to nag you again!

    You could also subscribe to the forums and get an upgrade to Supporter or Lifetime Supporter here

    Many growers keep several donor ("mother") plants and take clones off of them. That involves taking a small cutting from a plant and rooting it. It becomes a seperate plant (though still part of the donor).
    The advantages of growing from clones:
    -You know what sex the clones are. No more wasted time/space/$$$ on males.
    -You know how good the smoke will be.
    -You don't have to wait 4--6 weeks for the plants to reach sexual maturity before flowering. You can flower a clone whenever you want, even if it just rooted.
    -It's a way to preserve a favorite strain.
